From now on, you should learn to back up your data regularly, if you don't want to loss your data as this drive is failing.

Hope these words could help you.

Evidently you did not read this thread. It's a friend that had the bad sector problem, not me. And BTW, he does do regular backups so he did have a recent one to fall back on. I won't explain further since the data is already in this thread. Maybe reading the entire thread before giving a lecture might be a good idea.
